THERE was an air of intense concentration amid much debate at Whiteley community centre when Gosport and Fareham Soroptimists held their annual quiz night.<\/p>\n

The successful event was organised by club member Rosemary Coward and the questions were compiled by Lesley Hobbs who also did a sterling job as quizmaster for the evening.<\/p>\n

The winning team: from left, Courtney Mainwaring, Tony White, Lindsay Lamport, Margaret Smith, Kay Mainwaring and Chris Smith<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

As well as a picture challenge to test participants in between rounds, there were seven groups of questions. These covered a range of topics including geography, entertainment, sport and a very interesting Dead or Alive round.<\/p>\n

Questions such as Is Kirk Douglas dead or alive? (alive) which country has the largest number of volcanoes? (Alaska) and who composed 12 variations of the tune Twinkle Twinkle Little Star? (Mozart) kept the grey cells exercised.<\/p>\n

There was good-natured competition between eleven teams battling to be winners. This accolade eventually went to a team calling themselves Red, White and Ros\u00e9, pictured left. In second place were The Optimists and third were Guy and Dolls.<\/p>\n

A generous ploughman\u2019s supper, arranged by Rosemary Bell and a team of helpers, was served midway through the evening and a raffle organised by Pat Caulton raised \u00a3166. The amount raised by the event was an impressive \u00a3566.60.<\/p>\n

Proceeds will go to several Soroptimist charities, in particular the Hampshire and Isle of Wight Air Ambulance, the club\u2019s main charity for 2014-15.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
